Just looking at current largest emitters can be misleading as many would point their finger at developing nations like China that are rapidly industrializing. Only when we look at the cumulative emissions we can see which countries have historically contributed most to the climate Change.
For example, Germany is one of the lowest emitting countries that is having most of their production processes carbon free today. But historically, Germany is one of the top nations in cumulative emissions.

3.Soverign rating - Climate Vulnerability
Sri lanka is one of the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change under many metrics. It's important to know which sectors might be most impacted by the effects of global warming. Being in the equator, each passing year feels hotter that the year before. Outdoor activities like agriculture too will be hindered since farmers cannot stay in the sun for long to avoid heat strokes.
It's interesting to see that certain countries least responsible for the climate change are the ones most affected by it. Yet, each and every person in earth is and will be facing the effects in one way or another.

Fossil Fuel Consumption in Sri Lanka
6.The Fuel Consumption in Sri Lanka too has exponentially increased alongside emissions
Overlapping with the global increase in the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse emissions, Sri Lanka too has been emitting more and more greenhouse gases each year. The goal should be to minimize the rapid increase of these emissions that directly influence our climate and in turn our very lives.
